Description As said in the manga, "All Three of Them Killers... or, actually only two."

So here are two of my favorite killers. Mugen and Jin of Samurai Champloo.

This is a practice sketch for as a part of our art trade. This is the first time I've drawn Mugen and Jin. Kinda weird considering I'm a big Champloo fan.

Turned out Mugen wasn't all that hard to draw... Jin was! And all the while I thought he was easier. I guess his features didn't quite mesh with the way I draw. I had to keep redraw his face and still he looks kinda devious. Sorry bout that

Well, I hope you like this. Now that I've drawn Mugen I can't decide what to make for the actual sketch. This was so much fun.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Me too! I miss Champloo. The anime was only 26eps and the manga only 2 tankoubons! Wah! So sad. >.<

Now THIS is awesome! Two of my alltime fave characters in the same picture, and they look so kick-ass in it too! I really like that clean yet smooth style of yours. ^^ You picked great poses, and the expressions fit them well too.
Really nice work with this one.

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it. And thank you for all the faves and the comments. It means a lot.

They're my favorite characters too. Polar opposites and they compliment each other nicely. I'm just glad it came out okay the first time I tried to draw them.

Champloo really is awesome. Mixing old and new was really fun to watch. Too bad there were only 26 episodes though. hehe

How do you do it?
And this is practice?
But looking verrry nice already..

I thought Mugen would be harder to do... Btw, I like the glasses you've given Jin. They're kinda more modern with bit of edge. ^^
And by the looks of it, the two are about to fight... again..
And that's what makes Champloo so great.

snowzapped In reply to Hiliasin [2009-10-14 19:10:58 +0000 UTC]

How do I do what?
It's practice since I haven't drawn both of them ever. LOL
I made it while having dinner. The sketch was pretty fast to draw. The shading took just a bit longer (with the usual interruptions from kids who ask help with homework, or wanting more food, or trying to kill each other... you know what I mean. LOL).

Aww.. Thanks. I'm glad you like it.

I will draw just Mugen for you next time. But this one's for you too with Jin as a side dish.

I thought Mugen would be harder too. It turns out only his hair was harder to draw. But Jin who looks like he doesn't have facial expressions is actually harder. I think because I'm so used to drawing guys how look angry.

I wish they made more of the manga. I checked a few sites and found out there really only were two tankoubons released. WTF?!

Hiliasin In reply to snowzapped [2009-10-14 20:17:03 +0000 UTC]

I haven't found more of the manga either.
Bothers me since the story is quite different in places and I want to know how it goes.

And now I'm really impressed. Drawing with distractions is not something I'm used to...

snowzapped In reply to Hiliasin [2009-10-14 21:36:09 +0000 UTC]

I checked and I think there were only two...
Such a shame if there really were only two because it was a great manga. I really liked that it had different stories than the anime. Makes you think they were other adventures they had while looking for Fuu's dad.

Aoki-Fey [2009-10-14 17:18:07 +0000 UTC]

Hee! You put Jin in there too!

This is really wicked, and to know it's just a practice sketch too...O.O.
I'm really envious of your shading skills, especially when it comes to their clothes ><

p.s. You gave Jin really yummy lips xD

snowzapped In reply to Aoki-Fey [2009-10-14 17:38:22 +0000 UTC]

I drew a rough sketch of Mugen (on the left side of the page) and it felt kind of sad without Jin. So there he is. hehehe.

It's sort of what the actual thing would look hehehe. Since I don't think I can improve much on the way I sketch unless I do the shading even more detailed? LOL

I wanted so much to color it or put in a textured background but all my stuff were in the dead pc so it's just a white background.

p.s. That's what I was talking about when I said he still looked devious. I can't seem to draw his lips the way Gotsubo-san draws. Orz
p.p.s. My sister said that your Cid and Stan are so cute it's better than the ones I make.

Aoki-Fey In reply to snowzapped [2009-10-14 17:46:43 +0000 UTC]

Detailed shading?! Now that's impressive xD

I can't keep myself from colouring things either, I mean, you saw the sketch version of the chibis I did for you. I was going to submit that, but because it was so plain, I decided to colour it But you can get away with non-coloured work, because your sketches are marvelous and not plain at all! TwT

p.s. Me likey teh devious Jin
p.p.s. THAT'S SO MEAN! *pouts*

snowzapped In reply to Aoki-Fey [2009-10-14 18:15:52 +0000 UTC]

I don't know what detailed shading is either. LOL What's that word? More graded? Gradients? Ah whatever. XD

Yeah. The sketch was so cute. And the colored as even cuter. I can't help smiling when I look at it.

p.s. So happy you do. I'm going to post Cid's evil grin in a bit.
p.p.s. You can't blame her. She loves cute things. She's a big fan of Bubbles of the Powerpuff Girls.
